  "account": "The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service has revealed that its primary goal in implementing the TraffiTech-GH automated traffic enforcement system is to raise road safety awareness and promote responsible driving, rather than concentrating on the number of arrests. ACP Alexander Kwaku Obeng, the Director of Education, Research and Training at the MTTD, emphasized that the initiative seeks to make motorists understand road safety as a shared responsibility that necessitates commitment from all stakeholders. During an appearance on TV3 New Day's The Big Issue, ACP Obeng stated that the system is currently concentrating on speeding, with enforcement notices being directed towards vehicle owners and drivers. He clarified that the objective is not the number of arrests, but rather how people will become aware of the importance of road safety as a critical issue that needs to be addressed collectively. ACP Obeng added that electronic violation notices will be sent to vehicle owners via their registered phone numbers using the GPS MTTD sender ID. This approach aims to encourage compliance with traffic regulations and enhance public awareness of road safety.",
